This is actually brave and good news
proud of NZ and Australian universities/ librarians standing up to Elsevier-in my view Elsevier has a monopoly like ownership of Scopus the data base that drives university rankings & it charges very high rates to publish work the public often funded in the first place (while not paying reviewers)
Enormous shout-out to the Australian and Kiwi librarians standing up to Elsevier. This is killer.

So many people I respect in TVNZ but how is it possible for one news tonight to describe Mcskimming as merely having had an affair with a junior staffer or to report on all the devastation in south east Asia as a natural disaster with not a single mention of climate change as an underlying driver?

today the NZ climate minister implied because we signed up to transition away from fossil fuel agreement back in 2023 we didn’t need to join the 83 countries including the UK, Ireland, and the Pacific wanting to put this into action at cop 30 -leaving NZ on the side of oil states blocking action
